I picked up this phone yesterday based on some of the audio reviews and yes it is fabulous for music playback. Indeed it is the best sound I have heard from any phone, and it beats most of the portable devices I have tried as well. In fact listening last night to this phone had me wondering about the sound quality from my rather expensive desktop rig.
Prior to this I was using the Xperia Z1 which was good, but couldn't match this for clarity or volume levels.
The only drawback so far is that HTC's Sense is the worst Android skin I have ever used. Sony has them beaten by far in that regard.
Oh and about the camera, the Z1 20MP camera took the worst and grainiest pics of any phone I had owned, so don't buy into the MP hype. Effectively this camera is better and the larger sensor pixels have a better dynamic range.
